Man's Moose Ride Caught On Video, Faces Up To $100K Fine

You can find just about anything on YouTube, and Tuesday morning wasn't any different.

A video appeared allegedly showing a moose pulling a boat.

The boat catches up to the moose, which is just taking a stroll through the water minding its own business as a moose tends to do. One goof decided to jump onto the moose's back and start riding it.

I don't think this is the smartest idea in the world.

I'm sure this video will cause some uproar as people might complain that it's animal cruelty.

Do you think what this guy did was wrong or was he just having a good time? Yahoo news reported police are investigating the moose riding incident, searching for the man in the video. The perpetrator could reportedly face up to $100,000 in fines for wildlife harassment.

Wildlife experts say the moose would have been stressed out by the man's actions. And stressed animals are dangerous.
